Lachs in Blätterteig mit spinat und Weissweinsauce

Ok, that was so unfair. I wrote 3 paragraphs about this ready to cook food but without knowing why and how, it was erased...to think that I even wrote them in German! WAAAAH! There's even no way to retrieve it. I guess I'd post in English then.

Anyway, I was doing grocery when I saw this Salmon in a box. It piqued my curiosity and so I took one and went home. I do not have much time to cook so I think this is good since its Salmon!

In the box says it has spinach and whitewine sauce, that looks delicious.

I unpacked the salmon and here's how it looks.



It was inside a baking dough or something and should be cooked 50-55 minutes! Nay, I could have cooked a decent meal for that same cooking time! *sigh* Aside from this, this was surprisingly good! For 3,99 euros that can be shared by 4-5 people, its cheap compared to uncooked and unflavored salmon!

The Peach Spaghetti

When I served this spaghetti, the kids had the same reaction...Warum ist das farbe so? (Why is the color like that?) In actuality, the sauce has a strong hint of peach, hence the title.

I originally wanted to cook baked macaroni and cheese, however, I saw too late that we run out of macaroni, there was no time to buy at the store. (I am at home with 3 kids and its winter. To go out of the house to buy macaroni pasta means us dressing up layers of clothes first.) =(

So I came up with an idea, use spaghetti instead of macaroni. =D And that's how the peach pasta was born.

--------

Ingredients

ground beef
onion
garlic
tomato sauce
ketchup
salt and pepper

half stick butter
1 cup milk
1 cup grated cheese

--------

Saute garlic and onion, throw in ground beef when onions are transparent. Cook beef until brown. You may also add hotdogs.

Add tomato sauce and ketchup plus salt and pepper to taste. Stir. Put the stove on very low heat.

In another pan melt butter, drop grated cheese slowly, stirring continously. When the cheese melts add milk, still stirring. Make sure that all of the cheese melts.

Combine the cheese melt with the tomato sauce mix. Stir well. Serve over hot pasta.

You can also serve this with the cheesemelt over the sauce instead of combining it but the mixed version tastes better.

----------

This is the same recipe for baked macaroni and cheese, you only need to combine the tomato sauce mix with macaroni in a baking dish. Spread the cheesemelt over before baking in preheated oven at 180degs (C)/356 degs (F) for 15 minutes.

Mashed Potatoes and Gravy

A little calorie overload from one of the family's favorite comfort foods. =D







Mashed Potato
Ingredients:
6 potatoes
water
half cup milk
4 tablespoons butter
salt/pepper

How to:

Peel, wash and cut the potatoes. Put them in a small pot with just enough water to cover them. Boil until tender, around 20 minutes or so. Drain the water off the pot.

Lower the heat and put back the pot, add milk and butter while mashing the potato. Use a potato masher or fork (don't put them in a blender). Mash until free of lumps, afterwards put them in a bowl and whip with a fork, season with salt and pepper. Serve.




Gravy

4 tbsps butter
3 tbsps flour
half of beef cubewater
pepper
